Perry credits his ex-Gelila for being consistently grounded, and for being the balance he needs in parenting.

“I want to give him everything, because I didn’t have it,” he explained. “But I also know how dangerous that is, because I have friends who have wealthy kids, and I want to punch them in the face. You know what I mean? These kids, they’re just… They’re obnoxious! And I can’t raise that either. Because he’s a sweet boy…”

“We teach him about the struggle,” he continued. “We teach him about what a blessing it is to have anything! So he gets that, in this sense. And I want to make sure he maintains that.”

Despite his fame, Perry prioritizes Aman’s privacy and allows him to lead a normal life and wants his son to have the freedom to pursue his dreams, whatever they may be.

He adds, “I want him to know what it’s like to have his own name and his own life and not have the pressure of trying to live up to whatever or whoever your father was.”

Tyler Perry had such a tragic childhood but he really is serving as a source of inspiration to others who might have experienced the same.

It’s great to see that his son is learning how to be humble and we look forward to seeing him through the years!
